NORMAN, Okla. —

A Cleveland County judge filed a temporary injunction that blocks the city of Norman's coronavirus emergency proclamation that prevented personal care businesses from reopening.

In late April, Gov. Kevin Stitt announced a plan that would allow businesses to reopen in phases starting April 24. The plan would have let personal care businesses across the state to open, but Norman kept its proclamation that would prevent that in place.

Clark said that the reason to delay the reopening of personal care businesses for two weeks was based on advice from public health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendations for social distancing. She took to social media to say that adhering to social distancing guidelines would be impossible at personal care businesses.

"Unfortunately, Judge Balkman disagreed with that distinction and determined that personal care providers should be able to open immediately," Clark said.

According to Clark's post on social media, the city of Norman is weighing its appeal options, "but it appears clear that personal care providers should be allowed to reopen immediately based on the judge's order." Because of that, Clark said Norman's emergency proclamation will be amended to move the reopening of personal care providers to Phase 1A, including salons, spas, massage therapy and tattoo shops.

"If businesses do not feel safe opening, you do not have to," Clark said. "For those that do open, know that you will be held to the strictest standards of personal safety. Many have shared their plans with me, and now you have the opportunity to utilize them."

Clark said she encourages people to wear masks and put "smart, science-based decisions about protecting their health going forward."
